I think it took 4-6 weeks once we finally submitted the paperwork. In our case, we needed a lot of help and had to submit extra paperwork, like proof of prematurity, death etc. not what we neededtot be dealing with at all.
They can't commit to a time and I think that's stated on the website. I know it's hard on a single income. Hopefully it will come through for you soon.
It took 3 - 4weeks after I proved to family assistance office the birth of DS. I didn't have to wait for a birth cert, as the hospital provide paperwork which the FAO accepted.
My DS was born 04/05/11 and my 1st payment was 07/06/2011 (I was in hospital for a week as well).
Fingers crossed that it comes through for you soon.
Cheers, Jubear
